Granite outcrops, meticulously landscaped terraces, and elegantly paved courtyards create the backdrop for this remarkable executive home in an exclusive setting. Demonstrating unwavering attention to detail and a dedication to designing a family home that adapts to evolving needs, this owner-built property seamlessly merges its striking beauty with the equally breathtaking landscape.
A paved driveway sweeps up to a spacious undercroft that easily accommodates up to six cars. Upon entering the home through a formal foyer, the home's sensitivity to its site becomes immediately apparent: two granite boulders emerge from a floor adorned with handmade terracotta tiles.
Jarrah stairs with under-stair storage ascend to a mezzanine level where a spacious office or fourth bedroom and walk-through laundry with a separate WC are arranged. Terracotta floor tiles continue on this level, their warm organic tones blending beautifully with the rich polish of the jarrah stairs. The staircase continues to the first floor and an expanse of open-plan living, the highlight of which is a wall of glazing framing national park views. Stackable glass doors open to the deep, wrap-around deck, transforming this central living zone into an indoor-outdoor room.
The kitchen is defined by a sweeping expanse of richly-toned granite countertops and an integrated breakfast bar. This generous, functional space features a custom central island from Boranup Gallery, solid Tasmanian oak cabinetry, and a walk-in corner pantry. Culinary enthusiasts will appreciate the new 800 mm Emilia gas oven, 5-burner gas hob, and dishwasher, which provide everything needed for creative cooking and easy and memorable entertaining.
At the southeast corner of the first floor is the spacious principal suite, consisting of a large, carpeted bedroom with corner windows and glass doors opening out to the deck, a walk-in robe, voluminous fully tiled ensuite with a soothing palette, a jarrah-topped vanity, rainhead shower, and a separate WC. This divine parents' retreat is a haven of quiet beauty with direct access to the deck, providing a venue for morning coffee with unparalleled views.
Central to the junior wing is a large activity room with terracotta floor tiles and direct access to a spacious deck. Two carpeted bedrooms with mirror-fronted robes and ceiling fans are arranged off this multi-use central living space. A large, fully tiled family bathroom and separate WC complete the layout in this wonderful, dedicated kids’ zone suited to children of all ages and an ideal guest wing when kids are grown and have left the nest.
The finishes and materials throughout this home reveal meticulous attention to detail in every aspect of its design. This precision extends to two cleverly crafted undercroft spaces. The first, a powered workshop with a concrete floor, is accessed via a roller door in the carport. Following the lot's topography, three rooms provide ample storage and workspace, with long panoramic windows illuminating workbenches along one wall. The second undercroft space, also powered and with a concrete floor, offers versatile functionality. Perfect for storing bulky sporting equipment, as a serene creative studio or a home gym, this split-level room features dual-aspect recycled industrial windows that flood the space with natural light.
Forever views of John Forrest National Park give this property a unique appeal. With access to walking trails at the bottom of the driveway and the services and amenities of Midland a short drive away, the home represents a rare blend of natural splendour and exceptional living.
